Police
Headquarters
Beaumont’s current police headquarters, built in 1974, is undersized, outdated, and prone to flooding. Proposition B includes funding for a new facility that would serve as a central hub for law enforcement operations, administrative functions, and act as the primary location for community members to interact with police. The proposed facility aims to enhance public safety for residents by providing an updated space to house key law enforcement units, evidence storage, and other functions to help support modern policing and community services.
Fire
Station #4
Fire Station #4 was originally built in 1954 and does not currently meet the space and design standards for modern firefighting or emergency response. Proposition B includes funding for a replacement station that aims to provide updated bays for fire engines, modern living spaces that allow for female firefighters, and designated areas for training, gear, and wellness. The project also aims to create a facility that supports emergency response while meeting accessibility and building code standards.
Public Safety and Technology Improvements
This project allocates $1 million for the installation of security cameras connected to Beaumont’s Real-Time Crime Center. The system aims to support law enforcement operations by monitoring public spaces, deterring unlawful activity, and enhancing coordination in emergency response.
Facilities assesment and improvements
This $10 million project begins with a citywide facilities assessment — a professional review of City-owned buildings that would look at their condition, safety, accessibility, and ability to serve the community. The assessment will identify where updates are most needed, such as repairs, code compliance, or modern upgrades. Following this evaluation, the City will invest in renovations to priority facilities across Beaumont, aiming to ensure they remain safe, efficient, and welcoming spaces for residents and staff.
Animal Care and adoption center
Beaumont’s current animal shelter was built for smaller capacity and was not designed to meet current standards for animal care or adoption services. Proposition B includes funding for a new Animal Care and Adoption Center that aims to provide expanded space for kennels, better disease control, and dedicated areas for training, education, and community engagement. The project also aims to improve adoption opportunities and support public-facing programs.
Multipurpose Center at Alice Keith Park
Proposition B includes $11.2 million for a multipurpose center at Alice Keith Park in Beaumont’s south end. The proposed center aims to combine recreation facilities with classrooms and activity spaces to house educational programs, workforce training, and community events. By offering both sports and educational opportunities, the facility’s goal would be to help keep young people engaged, support partnerships with schools and local organizations, and open doors for future economic development.
Multipurpose sports and community facility
This project would create a new multipurpose sports and community facility designed to host athletic competitions, community events, and recreation activities. With a flexible, multi-court layout, the facility aims to support a range of uses including basketball, volleyball, pickleball, gymnastics, martial arts, various youth leagues, and the Special Olympics. The project also aims to provide a venue that can host year-round programming.
